Installing Maven from Eclipse MarketPlace

As part of integrating SOATEST with Cucumber, first step is to install maven from eclipse marketplace. Unfortunately maven installation is interrupted in middle & showing error.

Looking at many post on different forums it seems the maven version is not compatible with the Parasoft/Eclipse version on my machine. Can you please let me know the maven version to be installed? & How we decide which maven version goes with which Parasoft/Eclipse version?

Use the Eclipse "releases" repository that is for your version of Eclipse. The one for Indgo is http://download.eclipse.org/releases/indigo/
Also, you are not installing Apache Maven but Eclipse m2e which enables Eclipse to build maven java projects.

Please also consider upgrading for the latest functionality and fixes. Both SOAtest 9.6 and Eclipse Indgo are very, very old.

We really do appreciate feedback. If you are a first timer then I would highly recommend going through the main SOAtest tutorial in the User's Guide prior to following the SOAtest-Cucumber tutorial.

Concerning Indigo, I wanted to clarify some additional things. Admittedly, the tutorial nor the SOAtest-Cucumber java module was written nor verified for such older version of SOAtest/Eclipse. SOAtest 9.6 was last updated (9.6.4 release) in May of 2014. There have been about eighteen newer versions of SOAtest released since then (including minor and service releases). There are definitely older versions of SOAtest that won't work at all with the SOAtest-Cucumber java module, since it depends on certain APIs being available in the SOAtest Server. So, I can't say offhand whether 9.6 would work (maybe it will but maybe not). Feel free to share any additional feedback with us.

Earlier I mentioned you can't use that. I mentioned that you have to use the Eclipse "releases" repository that matches your version of Eclipse. For example, the one for Indgo is http://download.eclipse.org/releases/indigo/

Thanks for the info. I managed to install m2e plugin for eclipse. Now I am stuck at the other step. There's a step in tutorial where Maven project automatically download the dependencies to build the project. In my case it's not happening. Is there anything needed to be added manually to make it work?

Error:

Right click on the project then click Maven> Update Project.... Next, enable Force Update of Snashots/Releases and the other three boxes below it then click OK. This will force m2e to try to re-download the dependencies and clean and re-build the project. m2e should be pulling those from the central maven repository, provided you have Internet access.
